. If I were to write this trip up it would pretty much be a repeat of past trip descriptions and texts. So maybe just a short exec summary and a few pictures. Three days of early mornings and evenings in a 7.000 h State Forestry block in Brandenburg Germany targeting roe buck. The hunting was well organised by the State Forestry with a good infrastructure, hundreds of high seats and stands and cold rooms and meat processing facilities. I took my Rigby Highland Stalker in .275 Rigby and my Dan Fraser in 7x64, shooting Hornady SSTs. Both eye catchers and great rifles to shoot! The Dan'l Fraser is a 1980s Black Ilse build on a Mannlicher Schoenauer action, with German set triggers and the classic butter knife bolt handle. The Rigby, I purchased some 12 years ago and use it mainly as a deer rifle in Europe and Scotland. A wonderful rifle to carry and shoot! There was pretty good game numbers with red deer, fallow deer and roe deer. I saw a number of roe does and a few yearling bucks, the latter I could have shot but I choose not to. But I did take a fallow yearling buck with the 7x64 and was able to take the venison with me. (Thats the picture with the white smudge just before the tree line.) A fun, inexpensive, short hunting break in some wonderful countryside in Eastern Germany. Waidmannsheil! Ps. I had my Border Terrier bitch, Jinja, with me for company.           .

Well done Charlie! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

I like your taste in hunting rifles. I, too, own both a Rigby Highland Stalker Mauser and a Dan'l Fraser Black Isle M-S rifle! Those hunting grounds look like a fine place to put them to good use! Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Well done! Seeing your MS graced by what looks like a Kahles reticle-movement scope gave me a warm fuzzy  Assuming it is one and is mounted correctly, that scope should give great field of view, good field blending and be tougher than anything made for decades. | |||
